SACE Stage 2 Australian Languages - Revival Language study guide
SACE Stage 2 Australian Languages - Revival Language · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
Australian Languages - Revival Language is a Stage 2 subject in the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), listed by the SACE Board of South Australia among the languages subjects available to students studying the SACE. It sits alongside the related Australian Languages subjects - Additional Language and First Language - in the Board's subject catalogue, and it is designed for students working with an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander language that is being reclaimed and revived, rather than with a language they speak at home. The subject is organised around two equally weighted domains: language and culture, covering listening, speaking, reading and writing in the revival language; and language and identity, covering investigation and reflection on the revival language in its community context. Because the domains carry equal weight, effective preparation pairs regular practice in the four language modes with sustained, well-documented inquiry into the language's community setting, its speakers and its revitalisation. The SACE Stage 2 Australian Languages - Revival Language study guide has 2 sections and about 1,040 words.
01Language and Culture: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing in the Revival Language
SACE Stage 2 Australian Languages (Revival Language) assesses your ability to use the revival language across all four macro-skills, and to explain the cultural knowledge embedded in that use. You are not being tested as a fluent heritage speaker; you are being tested on demonstrated, documented competence plus your understanding of how the language works and why it matters.
541 words, about 3 min02Language and Identity: Investigation and Reflection on the Revival Language in Community Context
This domain requires you to investigate how the revival language functions in its community and to reflect critically on your own relationship to it. You need evidence - from interviews, community sources, published accounts, language programs, or your own family and school context - and you need to analyse that evidence rather than merely describe it.
